pros/cons 12 inch plow versus a 10 inch plow
 

just like the title says....

running on a 149 with ags..


i picked up a pretty nice plow at the tractor show in NC this weekend... im pretty sure it measured as a 10 inch but man it looks big!

is the 149 powerful enough to pull a 12 inch ?

if any one was wondering I picked the plow up for $80 bucks. seemed pretty fair..

Nice find on the plow....that's a great price!! :beerchug:





Looks like a 12" to me, by the shape of the moldboard......does it have a brace on the back from the land slide to the moldboard?



And your 149 should have no problem pulling a 12".....with enough traction. :ThumbsUp:

This may help....

yes thats how i measured it and it is a ten inch, and yes it had a land slide brace on the rear. it seems all it is missing is the coulter (sp?) is that required?

i think i mis understood this question... there is no additional brace... only the land slide...

My bad.......:Whistle: :biggrin2:





The reason I say the moldboard looks like a 12" is because my 12" moldboard has a kind of square edge like yours (circled in red)...and the two 10" plows I've had are more rounded. :bigthink: :biggrin2:

Nice looking plow. Where was the show? I missed it. Thanks.

it was in arden at the WNC ag center.. its close to asheville/hendersonville

i measured it again just now... and honstly its closer to 11 inches... 10 and 3/4 about. ive read the 12s are a little hard to come by... idk tho

You have a 12 then. I have two 12's and most times I don't have a problem, but depending on soil condition, traction and drtup of the plow you could have problems.
